Once again I've come away from a school concert more impressed than I anticipated. The quality was quite good and the directors seemed to have a very good control of the students.

I noticed that there definitely is a marked difference between the grades which suggests that there is strong instruction during the course of the school year (as there should be).

I believe that one of my first experiences at a local band concert was less than impressive, so my hopes and anticipations are low, but that is changing and I'm soon going to expect much higher quality from this school.
